I know I haven't posted in almost a week, but what can I say, I'm lazy! I went home to the farm for the weekend to get ready for my trip across the pond(in less than a week yikes!) But before I go, I have a cell biology test to study for, as well as a ton of papers to read, and work on my presentation about neurological diseases in farmers. So I have been pretty busy. But the weekend at home was very nice (even the drive home was like driving through a monsoon). I was able to watch a Purdue game with other Purdue fans (for the first time of the season) and I am happy to say that Purdue won (over Illinois) and is now bowl eligible. And mom sent back part of a hero and potato soup with me so I am enjoying the soup right now. Now I am reading in my cell bio book about filaments, and this is where I am getting a fun fact for this post. If you ingest a death cap mushroom, a remedy is do ingest a large amount of raw meat (the actin filaments from the meat bind to the toxin instead of your own actin filaments) . Enjoy!

Thanks for the tip about the death cap mushroom - but how do I KNOW if I've eaten a death cap? Could you post a photo or a link to help me identify the eeeveeel fungi?
Glad that the sammy and the soup have extended the week-end for you. Good luck on your test and with your reading.
Go, Purdue! I'll keep you posted on the Oaken Bucket game next week, too!
I can taste the mixture of Miracle Whip and mustard...a tragedy of condiments (Miracle Whip)sowing seeds of nastiness in perfectly respectable mustard. If we have heros at xmas, I ask now that mine be a special order.
If required, I will shut it for a decent sandwich.
Catherine,
Where are you going "across the pond?" Rob and I are going to be in London over Thanksgiving... maybe we'll run into you?
